Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal → HCID 10975874, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl-2-isocyanoacetate (10.3 g, 91 mmol) in ethanol (100 ml) was cooled down to 0° C. 1,1-dimethoxy-N,N-dimethyl methanamine (26.6 ml, 200 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was then allowed to reach RT and stirred for 24 h. The mixture was concentrated and the crude material was purified by flash chromatography (heptane/EtOAc, 100:0 to 40:60) to afford 11 g (64.7 mmol, 71.1% yield) of the title compound. LCMS: (M+H)=169; tR=0.74 min (LC-MS 2); 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ (ppm) 7.15 (s, 1H), 4.18 (q, 2H), 3.20 (bs, 6H), 1.26 (t, 3H).
